This week is going to be epic. Tomorrow the Forged in Blood anthology will be released. In it is my short story, Magnum Opus, and it tells the story of Rowan Moran, an Operative in the Freehold MIlitary Forces. This is a Freehold anthology, which means it's going to have awesome stories by Michael Z Williamson and Larry … Continue reading Epic Week Is Epic

Cover Reveal
Awww yeah, it's that time once again to reveal the latest book cover. This is Darkling, the sequel to Wraithkin, and Book 2 of the Kin Wars Saga.
The Reviews That Feed
I was talking with a few friends the other day about how I've been stuck at 45 reviews for Wraithkin. They've all been positive reviews (4.7 out of 5 stars) so I can't complain, but I was reminded about my promise that if I got 50 reviews I'd barbecue a unicorn. That got me to … Continue reading The Reviews That Feed
That Old Timey Religion
Yesterday while at church I had a strange thought about religion... One thing that has always bugged me about organized religion (i.e., going to a church) is the strict limitations the church seems to impose upon your belief and your relationship with God. I was raised Roman Catholic and all my Masses were in either … Continue reading That Old Timey Religion
Writing Frantically
Over the last three days I've had free to write I've added 32,500 words. If I can do that all the time I can put out about one book every two weeks. I mentioned this to one of my publishers and he said "So do it." It's like he wants me to go all hermitwriter on people... … Continue reading Writing Frantically
So Much In So Long (and thanks for all the fish)
After speaking a bit with my publisher I can now confirm roughly my publishing schedule for the next 8 or 9 months. September 5 -- Forged in Blood anthology, ed. by Michael Z. Williamson from Baen Books. My short story within is called Magnum Opus. Early September -- Corruptor (Book 1 of The Warp) from Anticipation Press. November -- Devastator (Book 2 … Continue reading So Much In So Long (and thanks for all the fish)
Book Cover Reveal Day!
Coming soon, the re-release of the novel that started it all. Now with a brand new cover!
Libertycon XXX AAR – The Update Version
Libertycon was a blast as usual, with plenty of programming to go around for everyone. Steampunk? They have authors for that. SF? Same. Fantasy? Oh yeah. Brandy Bolgeo Spraker and her crew of loyal minions once again did an amazing job of putting together a fun and creative convention. This year the Chattanooga Choo Choo … Continue reading Libertycon XXX AAR – The Update Version
Time Marches On
I'm taking a quick break this morning from writing Darkling to update the site. Uhhh... huh. Nothing much is going on. Libertycon is less than 2 weeks away and I am super excited about that. My vacation starts in six days (with only 3 days of work before that, cha-ching!) and I'm planning on getting a lot … Continue reading Time Marches On
Counting the Days
I keep getting older, and these publishers stay the same age... Sorry Matthew McConaughey, that still sounds creepy. I turned *coughcough* this past week and while I don't feel any older, my brain is convinced that I am slowly falling to pieces physically. Sure I've had a lot of joint pain the past 18 months … Continue reading Counting the Days
A Fistful of Time Slipping Through The Fingers
First off, I wanted to thank everyone who picked up a copy of Wraithkin over the past few months and then left a review. I really appreciate the reviews, especially when they average 4.7 out of 5 stars. It's probably the highest rated book I've written, period. If you picked up a copy and haven't left a … Continue reading A Fistful of Time Slipping Through The Fingers
More News!
I go from 2 months without posting to 2 within a week. Exciting news! Not only is "Magnum Opus" coming out in Forged in Blood from Baen Books this coming September, but another short story, "Paint the Sky", will be featured in the A Fistful of Credits anthology from Seventh Seal Press, edited by Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy, and is coming out … Continue reading More News!
Keeping Busy
Time sure does fly. I've been working a lot and wrapping up the basketball season. First year with a new offense, only 1 returning starter and a bunch of young guys and we finished at 10-19. Not too bad, considering. In the month of February it finally clicked and our PPG went up by almost … Continue reading Keeping Busy
A Basketball Update
Man, basketball season has pretty much sucked away my entire life. With practice almost every day and at least 2 games a week, and my regular 100+ hour work week schedule thrown in on top, it's a wonder I even remember what my house looks like. We've gone through some major improvements as we get deeper … Continue reading A Basketball Update
Update and Merry Christmas
Just a quick update while on "vacation". Wraithkin is doing exceptionally well still, staying around the ranking I had anticipated while the holiday season is still in full effect. I'm hoping that the first two weeks in January see an increase in sales since that's usually the time people start to buy their books again. Saw … Continue reading Update and Merry Christmas
